January 31st, 2024

Embark on a culinary odyssey at The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill, where every bite promises to transport you to the sunny shores of Greece with a dash of Cuban zest! Tucked away in the heart of Boca Raton, this vibrant eatery is more than just a restaurant—it’s pleasurable night out where visitors are treated to a symphony of flavors and cultural influences that get woven into each and every dish.

From the moment we sampled the Four Dip Combo featuring classic Tzatziki, creamy garlic Hummus, fiery Tirokafteri (Feta cheese dip) and the irresistible Melitzanosalata (eggplant dip), it was evident that freshness was paramount—a promise delivered through each delightful bite. But the journey doesn’t stop there; with offerings like the captivating lemon-flavored Avgolemono Soup and the refreshing Classic Greek Salad, the culinary adventure is just getting started.

Guiding us through this wave of flavors, Carlos Perez, the General Manager, gave us some great recommendations such as The Great Greek Gyro, a harmonious blend of lamb and beef with traditional Greek toppings and the hypnotizing entrees Garlic Shrimp Souvlaki and the Australian Lamb Souvlaki. Each dish had your palates dancing with jubilation long after you left the restaurant. And let’s not forget the Feta cheese-covered fries with a unique blend of herbs accompanying the Gyro, it exemplified the restaurant’s commitment to reinventing traditional dishes.

But what sets The Great Greek apart is its fusion of Spanish and Cuban influences, adding a captivating layer to an already rich culinary tapestry. Carlos shares how his heritage shapes not just the food but also the warm hospitality that defines the restaurant, creating an experience that transcends borders.

As we delved deeper into the menu, a Mezze Plate beckoned—a communal feast of Falafels, Dolmades (Stuffed Grape Leaves with Rice and Fresh Herbs. Served Chilled), hummus, and Spanakopita (a flaky puff pastry filled with Feta Cheese and Spinach) that celebrated the art of sharing.

Transitioning seamlessly from savory to sweet, dessert is a crescendo of flavors and memories. With Baklava boasting layers of filo dough, walnuts, and honey, and “Mom’s Rice Pudding” offering a comforting blend of vanilla and cinnamon, every spoonful is a journey to cherish.

Louie Bossi’s Boca Is Back and Tastier Than Ever

A night of music, mozzarella, meatballs, and martinis marks the comeback of Boca’s favorite Italian spot.

November 4, 2025

Boca’s favorite Italian spot is back and better than ever. After closing in April because of a kitchen fire, Louie Bossi’s Ristorante Bar Pizzeria has officially reopened its doors, and Boca couldn’t be more excited.

The restaurant kicked things off with an invite-only cocktail preview on Sunday, November 2, and it was the perfect mix of community, flavor, and fun. Guests were welcomed with house-made favorites, signature cocktails, and a performer wearing a champagne dress made entirely of glasses filled with bubbly. A live DJ kept the crowd dancing and smiling all night, setting the tone for Louie Bossi’s big return.

Every table was a dream for anyone who loves Italian food. There was a charcuterie board piled high with meats, cheeses, and fresh focaccia, plus a mozzarella station where chefs stretched the cheese right in front of you. The plates kept coming with wood-fired pizza, creamy pasta, rich meatballs, and those truffle risotto balls everyone was talking about. To end the night, a cheerful chef went around filling fresh cannoli shells with sweet ricotta and powdered sugar.

What’s New and What’s Coming

Louie Bossi’s still has all the warmth and heart Boca locals love, but with a few new reasons to stop by. Guests can now enjoy two Happy Hour options: one from 4 to 7 p.m. daily and another from 9 to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday.

One of the newest additions is the Girl Dinner, which comes with an Arthur Ave Salad, truffle fries, and a martini for $30. I’m already obsessed and fully plan on making this a regular thing. It’s the perfect mix of light, indulgent, and a little bit fancy, everything Louie’s Lounge is about.

To celebrate the reopening, Louie Bossi’s is hosting a series of events throughout November that bring the community together:

Saturday, November 8: A family celebration honoring local firefighters, complete with pizza box decorating, firetruck photo ops, kids’ activities, and free treats.
Thursday, November 13: A Tip a Firefighter fundraiser, where local firefighters serve as bartenders and servers to raise money for the Boca Raton Firefighter Benevolent Fund.
Later in November: An Italian Mixology Class, where guests can learn to shake and stir signature cocktails in a fun, hands-on setting.

With its incredible food, lively atmosphere, and community-centered spirit, Louie Bossi’s return feels like a big Italian hug for Boca. The comeback is delicious, joyful, and exactly what we’ve been waiting for.
